Nurlan Zhakupov, Chairman of the Management Board of Samruk-Kazyna, visited the construction site of a new combined heat and power (CHP) plant in Semey.
The project is being implemented to ensure reliable heat supply for the city, which has a population of around 320,000. The future plant will have an installed capacity of 405 MW of electricity and 1,000 Gcal/h of heat, enabling it to meet the city’s demand and enhance the resilience of the regional energy system.
During the visit, Zhakupov discussed the pace of implementation and the current status of works with the management of Samruk-Energy and project contractors. Particular attention was paid to meeting project deadlines and ensuring efficient construction management.
Following the meeting, Zhakupov emphasized that the commissioning of the CHP plant is scheduled for 2029 and must be delivered without delays. At the same time, he stressed the need to take all necessary measures to accelerate construction.
The new CHP plant is expected to have a positive impact on the region’s environmental situation. The project envisages the use of clean coal technologies and modern flue gas treatment systems, which will significantly reduce emissions compared to the city’s existing coal-fired energy sources.
